After 20 years that account might have escheated.

The 6900HS in the 2022 Asus Zephyrus G14 has a default boosting behavior that keeps it at 95°C most of the time (on the user's lap). It might have a liquid metal thermal interface. Given these two samples, the original story is not sur

I made this switch over the last year and can second the recommendation. If you like Ubuntu, you actually like Debian and just put up with Ubuntu.

Webkit would have to compete with other engines to retain its market share rather than abuse its monopoly power.

We need to better define exactly who's tracking we need to get around. I agree that DoH is a better solution to being tracked by your ISP.

Maybe I misunderstood what this does. Is unbound not sending requests to the ISP in this case?

The author states that pihole sending requests to 8.8.8.8 (Google) is worse than sending requests to your ISP. I disagree. I have always had terrible experiences with Comcost's DNS. I trust them less.

Apple's "turn off Bluetooth" is more of a temporary pause on connecting to devices. It turns itself back on after some time.

I just went through the Simple -> BBVA -> PNC transition. Yesterday when I installed the PNC app on my Pixel, I got the warning that I would need to allow storage access. But then the storage access prompt never came up. I just checke

As domeone coming straight out of college, I disagree with your premise that threading is not accessible anymore. However, one possibility is that a proliferation of new languages brought with them new threading models and runtimes that all

The high end 3000 series cards use a faster, more expensive, proprietary kind of memory from Micron. Even with a little less memory capacity, bandwidth is still probably higher. I doubt the 3060 will use this.

Could a model be trained to predict the prompt given to GPT3 based on the responses?

It's probably a sweet spot between adding more CU's versus cache. Given their memory bandwidth is lower, alleviating that with cache makes more sense than adding more CU's.

If Apple currently sells you a house and you aren't permitted to put non-Apple electrical or furniture in, building codes are the framework by which third parties could be permitted to do so. We're already in the locked down house

SMT4 is a bit of a surprise here. Obviously POWER uses it well but this feels like new territory for ARM designs.

I suppose the cost of the loan to exercise the option would be equal to the difference between that and selling the option?

The first thing I notice in that comparison is that one chip is rated for a 45W TDP and other is 15-25W. While I think these cross-segment comparisons are exciting and show great progress, it's just not fair to the electrons.

I would be very interested in this as well but I fear Intel and Dell have some kind of exclusivity agreement for our beloved product line. In the meantime we'll all just switch to Zen2 ThinkPads.

Does this mark the first availability of a non-Raspbian OS for the Pi 4? I've been disappointed by the lack of compatability at launch. I've only gotten Raspbian to work so far but it lacks a nice GUI for enterprise wifi setup. I
